BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 16% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Kyle Seager had a nice run earlier in the decade, consistently producing 25+ HR season with solid run production and a respectable batting average while almost never missing a game. A rough 2018 season was followed by an injury-shortened campaign last year, and along with the rapidly deepening pool of talent at the hot corner, Seager became a forgotten man for fantasy purposes.
He's off to a nice start this year though, hitting .294/.375/.500 with a home run and 10 RBI in nine games. The Mariners aren't a great team, but Seager appears to be locked in as their primary cleanup hitter, and even bad teams tend to give their middle of the order bats plenty of opportunities for counting stats. And in a short season where fielding a full fantasy lineup is already proving to be a major challenge, his durability is a definite selling point.
